Translation: basically the organization was a "division" from OECC (organization with similar purpose) and was officially established during September of 1961 Easier eh! As for the reason for establishment: it is basically the same as the purpose, developing policies that would help out people around the world who need help with economic problems (as mentioned like OECC) Creepy! Reasons for establishment:- In the process of decolonization from the British Empire, independentnations began to form, and the British Empire soon desired for the independent countries to form an organization which were previously a part of the British Empire.- Lord Rosebery from Australia soon developed a name for this organization of countries: "The Commonwealth of Nations" Location of Headquarters The Commonwealth of Nations headquarters are located in Marlborough house, a beautiful building in central London, England LORD ROSEBERY!
